The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of Furnas Lake proximity on diversity of microorganisms and sensory quality coffee and physics. Fruits and coffee beans were collected in Alfenas, located on the shores of Lake Furnas, and Cabo Verde, whose municipality is not bathed in this lake. The isolation of organisms was accomplished by plating technique directly on selective media. The greatest diversity of microorganisms was verified in Alfenas municipality of samples.
